AYRT

I thought Mononoke was fairly close, actually. The Medicine Seller wanders around various historical periods dealing with supernatural problems caused (largely) by mortal misdeeds, investigating the crimes that caused them and using that knowledge to exorcise (or something close) the spirits. So it's not too far away. But yeah, it's got a wider range of the supernatural than many ghost stories, so a broader vein is fine as well.

Ah, yes, I see!

Well, my initial idea was probably too far away - Rivers of London deals with magic more than it does with sins, hauntings etc. - but, uh, maybe Max Frei, the Labyrinths of Echo series? It is fantasy, but big chunks of these books strike me as something that might interest you. The heroes are policemen in a fantasy world where loads of magical fuck ups happen on a daily basis; the main protagonist was sort of teleported into this world from the regular one, and now he has to adapt to the local life. The first book features ghosts and other things that could be considered supernatural, though it isn't, strictly speaking, all about the paranormal.

... I had never heard of that, and it sounds fascinating. A bit more fantasy than I was looking for, yes, but interesting enough to make up for it. Thank you!

I hope you like it, nonnie. This series had a major impact on me when I was younger, so I'm always happy when people consider giving it a go.
